I'm not sure that this is something that makes much sense.

"On demand" means that a new stream will be created in response to each new 
client.  Why would you want each new stream to be multicast?

Note that the existing "test*Streamer" applications contain a RTSP server 
that streams via multicast.

What is it exactly that you want to do?
